COURT HOUSE MEETING.

COURI HOUSE MEETING.
The meeting at the Court House on
Thursday evening last week, for the
purpose of organizing a Citizens
League, was well attended. many Of
our substantial citizens being present
Judge Van Wyck was called to preside
and W. w. Strong was appointed secre-
tary. The object of the League is the
enforcement of the law prohibiting the
sale OF intoxicating liquors to minors
and drunkards; the closing of liquor
saloons at certain hours and on Sum
days; also the enforcement of the law
in respect to the use of billiard and
pool tables by minors. The fee for
membership of the League was placed
at fifty cents. The efficiency of the
League will necessarily be attended
with some expense. Measures will be
taken for the general circulation of
the constitution for signatures. The
influence of the League will be largely
aided by the approval it receives from
the people, made manifest by names
appended to the constitution.
The officers elected for the League
are:
Hon. 2. G. Simmons, President.
DR.. Thos. Gillespie, Vice President.
A. Hasell Lance, Secretary.
E. L. Grant, Treasurer.
The executive committee consists of
the foregoing officers, with the addition
of John T. Yule, Esq, and James Cav
anagh, Esq.
The meeting was addressed by the
following gentlemen: Mr.. Paxton, of
Chicago; Rev. ]. M. Cleary, 2. G.. Sim
mons, Mayor Stemm, James Cavanagh
and Charles Quarles.
This movement organizing a League
for tbs enforcement of law, if carried
out according to its expressed purpose,
will prove one of the best practical
methods for the suppression of law vio-
latlons, which are of frequent occur
renee, and also for the protection of
the youth of the city and the surround
Ing neighborhood. There are persons
who contend that if we had more
stringent laws, and especially rrohi-
bitory law. it would be no difficult
matter to suppress the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors. These people lose sight
of the fact that we have had for many
years legislation equivalent to prohibit
ton. This city can have prohibition if
the people desire it; all that is neces-
sary is to elect a Mayor and majority
of aldermen opposed to the granting of |
liquor licenses; the punishment for
selling without license is sufficiently |
severe to stop the traffic. if the laws
were enforced. There is no law in |
this state compelling the authorities of |
a city or town to grant license. That
question was tested in the Supreme
Court in this state some years ago. A
citizen in Jackson county made appli-
cation to the Excise Board for liquor
license. The Board refused to grant
The application; the applicant sued the
Board and was non-suited. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court and
The action of the court below affirmed
The Supreme Court holding that the
granting of license was not compulsory,
put optional with the licensing board.
